OM recently faced harsh criticism after their match against Le Havre, where NealMaupay and AngelGomes were accused of almost compromising an already comfortable victory. The 4-3 in favor of the Marseille team left the press and supporters perplexed, in particular because of several entries judged to be poorly placed which allowed the visitors to come back into the lead. These incidents have reignited debates on the management of the group by coach BrunoGenesio.
In the team's already tense context, other players like KeylianeAbdallah and NouhoumKamissoko were also mentioned, with Abdallah having been relegated to Pro2 according to reports. For Maupay and Gomes, the question of temporary sidelining is now raised. NordineAliSaid, Marseille journalist, suggested that OM let the two attackers take a step back for a few weeks, without however definitively sanctioning them. He suggested that they be available for RomainFerrier on weekends until the next break, in order to allow them to evolve in a less pressurized environment.
AliSaid believes that these players are going through a difficult period and that a change of framework could help them find their bearings. He pointed out that even after a decisive match, the team's performance is not enough to revive them, leaving them in a "gaping hole". According to him, continuing to play them under the same conditions would not be the best strategy to reactivate them.
This proposal raises questions about the options available to the coach. The schedule and needs of the first team will need to be taken into account before deciding on a possible temporary exit to another group. It remains to be seen whether BrunoGenesio can be patient and implement this solution, or if he will choose a different approach to get Maupay and Gomes back on track.
